AGENDA
Influence of Groundwater on near shore Marine Water for Saipan - Dr. Karen Knee, American University
Dr. Knee explains how her researchers are determining where and how much groundwater is emerging near Saipan's shoreline. The researchers measure concentrations of radon, radium and nitrogen isotopes in the groundwater and seawater to make their determinations. They have found that the off-shore area near fishing base has the most influence from groundwater around Saipan.

Leak Detection: How CUC improved their water hours - Derek Chambers, Travis Spaeth
Derek explains the history of mapping what percentage of the population of Saipan had access to 24 hour water. The Travis explains how CUC has systematically chased down leaks in the distribution system using correlators and flow meters.

The Toilet: an unspoken history (BBC)
We watched the BBC documentary about the history of the toilet as told by Welsh poet Ifor ap Glyn. This documentary, while entertaining, was also very informative. Not only did it discuss the history of the toilet, but also several potential futures. This video has peaked Derek's interest in compost toilets - which will be a subjest in the next continuing education class in November.
